With the New Year comes the time for the dreaded New Year’s resolutions.  According to the University of Scranton Journal of Clinical Psychology, loosing weight and staying fit and healthy are on the top of the list.  Although increasing your activity levels is a great way to stay healthy and loose weight it also opens the possibility for injury.  Chiropractic care is a great way to make workouts safer, more effective and more enjoyable for everyone.  Chiropractors can help improve your flexibility, range of motion, and reaction time. A report in the Journal of Chiropractic Research and Clinical Investigation found significant increases in athletic performance after only three months of chiropractic care, and the U.S. Olympic Committee assigns a chiropractor to its staffs for the Pan-American and Olympic Games. Adjustments can help you maintain your full range of motion, which protects against muscle strain during workouts and reduces joint dysfunction by ensuring that your joints aren't misaligned.  Chiropractic is so effective when it comes to improving athletic performance, that in 2002 31% of the National
Football League (NFL) teams had a chiropractor on their staff.  As of today, every one of the 32 NFL teams has a chiropractor.  On a broader scale, chiropractors have been working with the United States Olympic Team since the 1980 Lake Placid Winter games and continue to be a part of every Olympic Games since.  Make sure your body is ready to get the most out of your work out routine by keeping your spine aligned properly and increasing your range of motion with chiropractic care.  Let’s work together to have a healthier 2013.
